Help Zack

Zack needs our help. This friend and family of HSSC lost his house New Year's Eve (http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009901020342).
He will be moving into a house in HSSC and needs help replacing damaged items. His 2 children lost everything in their rooms, including beds, clothes and all new Christmas presents.

If you would like to help out, here is a running list of items. You can comment below to share with others, mention items you are getting to help avoid duplication, or call us at 230-8335 (Sandee) or 719-8780 (Marybeth) and we can update this page. We can pick up the items or you can drop them off at Marybeth's or Sandee's house (1035 or 1029 Parker St). Please call to let us know that you will be dropping off so we can make sure it gets to the family as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help.
